DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Stratification Concerns In Water Storage Tanks

  As spring and summer approach, stored water flow and temperature will gradually increase in all water storage tanks. This results in chemical and thermal stratification. Learn how a robust active mixer can eliminate chemical and thermal stratification.

• Greek Municipality Of Naousa Secures Its Water Infrastructures With ABB Automation Solutions

  Discover what technologies were able to measure, monitor, and control for a city in northwest Greece, while also ensuring a safe and clean water supply. 

• Niederzeuzheim WWTP Case Study The villages of Oberzeuzheim and Niederzeuzheim, Germany are served by the Niederzeuzheim wastewater treatment plant. The plant was originally designed as a nitrification facility for a population of approximately 3,000.
• Drinking Water Disinfection In A New Hampshire Town

  The town of Hillsborough, NH chose Atlantium's HOD UV system to disinfect their drinking water due to its low disinfection by-products and reliable virus inactivation. Atlantium's UV technology is validated and offers stable and efficient water treatment solutions.

• Abilene “Phocus” On Their Non-Revenue Water Program

  The State of Texas and the region around Abilene in particular has been experiencing an ongoing drought. Abilene takes the region’s need for adequate water supplies seriously and has been analyzing the short-term water needs (5-10years) as well as the long-term water needs (+50years) for its service area. The ongoing drought had pulled the three primary water supply reservoirs for the region down to extremely low levels. In the autumn of 2014: Lake OH Ivie was at 15% capacity; Hubbard Creek Reservoir was at 16% capacity; Lake Fort Phantom Hill was at 32% capacity.

• Severn Trent Exceeds Leak Reduction Targets With Innovative Itron Water Solutions

  Severn Trent’s smart metering program, powered by Itron’s technology, is transforming water conservation—reducing leaks by 6 million liters, cutting costs, and empowering customers to use water more wisely.

• The Science Of Mixing And Improving Water Quality In Water Storage Tanks

  Water storage tanks and reservoirs are a critical component of distribution systems, yet they can pose a significant challenge for water utilities as they often have a negative impact on water quality. Water quality problems can develop due to low turnover and/or inadequate mixing resulting in short-circuiting. While the benefits of maximizing tank turnover to minimize water age are generally understood, it is only recently that extensive research on mixing characteristics of storage tanks has been undertaken that has provided insight on what causes water quality problems and expertise in designing inlet/outlet pipe configurations, or mixing systems, to achieve complete mixing and maintain water quality.

• Using Ozonation And Biologically Active Filtration To Remove Micropollutants

  Ozonation and biologically active filtration (O3-BAF) is being increasingly used to address the issue of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater treatment and potable reuse.

• The Benefits Of Continuous Monitoring Of Phosphate In Corrosion Control

  When Flint Michigan discontinued purchasing water from the Detroit Water Authority and began using the Flint River as their raw water source they unfortunately did not consider the potential impact on lead and copper corrosion and the impact on the public.

• Aging Water System Transformed Into Leading Smart Water Solution

  When water utility managers in Bedford, Texas, determined it was time to replace the city’s aging water infrastructure, they anticipated it would be a challenging undertaking. However, by selecting a manufacturing partner with a comprehensive solutions portfolio, the Public Works Department achieved a successful infrastructure replacement project in less than two years.
